Houses of cards

Big shock, here: I think Atrios is absolutely right. I also think it ties in nicely with my own last post:

When the history of this era is written, I hope it is remembered that the President of the United States created a deck of cards with "bad guys" on it. The media, rather than seeing this is a bizarre and infantile thing, thought it was wonderful. So wonderful that they dutifully printed the graphics on their newscasts, and created lovely interactive web features around it.

We are ruled by dangerously silly people.
